THUNDER THURSDAY #85: OpenToonz Tutorials Are Live!
Hey folks! For those wanting to learn OpenToonz, thanks again for your patience, and behold: my first few tutorials are online! Here’s the introductory collection (~35min total), or check below for links to individual sections :D
Hey folks, it’s been a minute! After a lot of recording and editing, quick announcement:
OpenToonz intro tutorials coming soon! (Aiming for this week!)
The above gif captures how I felt when I first launched the program. I’ve learned a lot, and I’m hoping to make it more accessible for aspiring animators. Stay tuned!
Hey folks, Paul here for THUNDER THURSDAY! Couple quick updates:
Tomorrow I’m visiting a high school in Southern Pines, NC to give animation demos for computer arts classes. I’ll be showing how to make the gifs above in After Effects–looking forward to it!
On the OpenToonz front, I’ve written my first tutorial outlines and gotten a mic for better audio quality. I’m looking forward to recording soon, but first I need to finish some book stuff and hope that my head cold clears up.
THUNDER THURSDAY #83: Book Requests, and a Tutorial Question!
Hey folks, Paul here for THUNDER THURSDAY! Today marks one month since the book came out–I’ve been thrilled with the journey so far, and I’d love to keep the momentum going!
While I enjoyed compiling the TUTOR TUESDAY PDFs, I know it’s been a hot minute since we had new tutorial content to share. Meg (@rawranansi), our tutorial mastermind, has been super busy with work! So I wanted to ask:
Would you be interested in animation tutorials for OpenToonz?
OpenToonz is an open source (which means ethically free!) 2D animation software, and I’ve been learning it myself since I started using it for the book trailer this past summer.
It’s a powerful program, though the interface definitely takes some getting used-to. I’d love to share what I’ve learned, especially since the program’s available for all!
If you’re interested, let me know. Comments and reblogs are much appreciated! Thanks,
